[1] shows me how to run systemd-nspawn by itself.

[2] shows me that it's basically just like chroot when it comes to a user experience.

When do I get to the part that's better than the entire ecosystem of schedulers and orchestration tools that has sprung up built on and around Docker? Are all of those companies wrong? (Are you trying to tell me it's all just hype and I should put everything into the hands of one competent sysadmin that manages nspawn and systemd?) I could be convinced of that, but I just don't see anyone doing that. I guess that's actually what was meant by cargo cult.

This all really just makes me want to go out and spend some more time looking at Rkt instead. We're all not even remotely convinced that this is better. Where is the mantl.io built on systemd-nspawn?
